Hi
My dad has a diabetes type 2 ; takes 1 gram of metformin one tablet twice a day, trajenta 5 mg, glimepiridum 2 mg one tablet twice a day , for past 3 weeks his BM goes above 11; no carbs , no bread, no pasta, no rice for past 3 weeks and still his BM high like 19 , in the morning 15 before breakfast … drinking a lot of water … any help ? Any suggestion ?
 
Think he meets to go to gp, or if his ketones are high too call 111
 
I have been trying GP to adjust his medication. They referred to Desmond which discharge him before seen him. GP gived blood test and urine test. I done today. I am looking for Diabetic Doctor because that is going out of control .
 
No symptoms , heart rate 72, saturation 96… maybe some kind infection is coming …
 
Can he test for ketones?
How does he feel?
If he gets nauseous or develop a stomach ache or gets funny breathing, don't wait but get medical help.

Could well be, and this could explain the high blood glucose.
But I'd still seek advice with those numbers, can't hurt to make a phonecall.
